Their poetry and art will change the world.
Rudy is a street artist; Clementine is a poet. The day after Rudy sneaks out late one night and posts her first piece of artwork, Clem discovers it, awestruck. She takes a photo, writes a poem in response and posts them together on Instagram. Soon the two fifteen-year-olds meet and begin their unique friendship, one that nurtures creativity and results in a special creative collaboration. The girls may be from very different backgrounds, and experiencing difficulties at home, but each strives to be true to herself and follow her dreams.
A feel good story of friendship and following your dreams. -- Fiona Noble * The Bookseller *
This may seem like a simple, feel-good read for teens, but don't let that fool you. It is so much more. Heartfelt, textural, compelling...this book simply sings. * Fallen Star Stories Blog *
Inspired by the vibrant street art in her home city of Brighton and Hove, this eighth young adult novel by award-winning Siobhan Curham is an uplifting tale this book was a joy, offering a delightful glimpse of what one of the adult characters describes as an amazing generation. Youngsters will hopefully love it, too. * Sussex Life *
